The Moab Cabin at sunrise

Hoodoos on sand flats road on way to cabin

The darkened sky over these hoodoos at sunset made for a great shot. I never tire of the ride up to the cabin because of the hoodoos. They are amazing for adults but absolutely mystical to children. If travelling with young kids just plan on stopping along the way to let them soak in the views that will remind them of special effect movies they are used to.

Potash road into Moab Utah

Another one of my favorite photos. Along the river on Potash road very near the petroglyphs. This photo shows a typical day in paradise with blue skies, puffy white clouds and vertical cliffs.

Torrin Lundberg at castle valley overlook

Torrin Lundberg and I motorcycled this trail and came back for photos. It is the Porcupine trail near Moab Utah and offers vertical views that require concentration while riding a bike.

Forest fire above Pinhook battleground

This is a view of the LaSals overlooking the Pinhook battleground near the castle valley overlook. The fire is the first they have had on this scale in over a thousand years. Don't know if that info is reliable but the contrast in colors makes for a beautiful shot.

Moab Cabin sun room

The sun room is named because it captures the morning sun and afternoon sun with views of the laSal mountains and the meadow across Cougar Canyon. A favorite to read, watch a movie or take a nap. It has two single beds, a DVD player and TV.

Russ, Isaiah & Mishelle Neilson at the castle valley overlook

One view we try to experience nearly every evening while at the cabin is the castle valley overlook. Minutes from the cabin this view takes the breath away from every friend and visitor we have had at the cabin. Good friend Scott Hatch and family didn't want to go as the day was a bit long from activities but at my insistence he came. On the road over he good naturedly complained the whole way that with all the great views seen that day one more was only going to wear him out. he would be just as happy to stay on the sofa and do nothing. However, once at the vista, he marveled at how beautiful it was and simply stated, "Well...I was wrong. This is more than worth it." This vista overlooks what is billed as the last battle between Native Americans and Whites, in a place called the Pimhook battle. This rim view is a must when visiting the Moab cabin.

HIking to the arch with friends

Connie Brown, Susie, me, Lorene and Terry Eagar hiked to Delicate Arch on a beautiful Fall day. At the half way mark is a beautiful colored tree that presented the perfect photo opportunity. The area is so beautiful that fabulous shots almost become mundane, but when friends are added to the photo, they become unique. As in this photo, I will always remember this photo whenever hike the trail in the future. We make it a point to hike to Delicate arch almost everytime we visit the cabin because it is like visiting "God's" museum and every season, every day offers up a new version of some of his greatest work.
